Synopsis
NATIONAL BESTSELLER * A modern classic explores the connections between science and art, the process of creativity, and ultimately the fragility of human existence. "A magical, metaphysical realm ... Captivating, enchanting, delightful." -- The New York Times Einstein's Dreams is a fictional collage of stories dreamed by Albert Einstein in 1905, about time, relativity and physics. As the defiant but sensitive young genius is creating his theory of relativity, a new conception of time, he imagines many possible worlds. In one, time is circular, so that people are fated to repeat triumphs and failures over and over. In another, there is a place where time stands still, visited by lovers and parents clinging to their children. In another, time is a nightingale, sometimes trapped by a bell jar. Now translated into thirty languages, Einstein's Dreams has inspired playwrights, dancers, musicians, and painters all over the world. In poetic vignettes, it explores the connections between science and art, the process of creativity, and ultimately the fragility of human existence., A modern classic, Einstein's Dreams is a fictional collage of stories dreamed by Albert Einstein in 1905, about time, relativity and physics.

    Shipping label created 2/11 with a delivery date of 2/17. USPS said item not received until 2/19. I had contacted seller prior to confirm it had been sent. It was a waste of money since it was received on 2/22, the day after I needed the item. Packaged fine. Value fine.
